My new husband and I were just recently married at The Davenport and I cannot even begin to describe how beautiful the venue was! Inside and Out! From the curtain lights, to the chandeliers, to the beautiful staircase, and street lights outside covering the streets of Greer.
The price was affordable, the venue was stunning, and Scott was SO easy to work with and get all preparations for our big day complete! I would recommend this location (and Scott) 1000x times over! Thank you so much for making our BIG day PERFECT!💖
